I sure hope Obama holds tough to the republican machine and more importantly can walk the walk in the office.

Actually I disagree with this conventional wisdom that says she has an advantage in Ohio, Texas, and Pennsylvania.
She "used" to have a big advantage in Iowa, and South Carolina.
A month ago she was 20 points ahead nationally and in most of the Super Tuesday states.
By Super Tuesday Obama had caught her, and won more votes and more delegates on that day...and has won everything since.
The longer this goes on the better he does, and he's proven that when he's had time to campaign in a state, he does much better there. (Which is why I think she was still able to hold onto some of the Super Tuesday states...there was only 5 or 6 days to campaign in 22 states, not enough time for him)
By the time March 4 gets here I think he could be ahead in Texas and Ohio, and that will be game, set, match.
